Great place to meet up with friends and have a great meal.

Service and food is always great. A good local hideout as you would say.

Great relaxed hideaway.

Always the best food and service

Emil's is a great restaurant hidden off first avenue. The place was packed on our visit, but the wait staff still did a great job of checking on us regularly. The menu has a excellent selection of food. There were so many different options it made it hard to choose what to order. I would recommend giving it a try.

Completely Awesome food! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. It's really a nice place for lunch, dinner, or just having some drinks. I visited during the lunch hour and we were seated immediately upon entering. The server was very prompt and friendly. We ordered and our food was brought to us in a timely manner. If and when you go there be sure to try the stuffed mushrooms, they are out of this world, the best I've had in Cedar Rapids. Definitely recommend this place for everyone!!!

In town for business and we decided to try this place out. We had a ground of about 10 guys and I don't think I heard anyone complain at all. My burger was excellent and the spicy chicken Rangoon was great, I probably could have just had two orders of those and been good. Would definitely recommend this place. My GPS took us on the back streets to get to Emil's. Parking lot dark & shady looking. However, step thru the doors to a very nice restaurant & bar. Food was excellent, beer cold and fantastic service. Definitely best meal we had in Cedar Rapids.

TERRIFIC! Such good food and an AMAZING WAITRESS. There was several of us ordering appetizers left and right. When the bill came, she had added up all apps & divided it between all of us. Wonderful idea!

Absolutely loved our lunch! After you find this restaurant! Tricky for first timers! But definitely a must when in town! We had a very friendly attentive server, who greeted us, tended bar and severed our food! All food is fresh, made daily and not that frozen stuff! We had carnitas pizza and absolutely delicious, with a wonderful crust

Best bar in Cedar Rapids, possibly the U.S.A.

Great food and our server was the sweetest!

Great food. Great staff. Loved the pizza and the pretzel fries. Pickle chips were good, has a spicy kick.

Haven't been there since the beginning of Covid, but was not disappointed one bit going back. Best staff and food in town!!

Food was delish and atmosphere was fantastic! We will definitely be back.

Very delicious food and great service
